to DNA profiling in situations where there
is a closed set of subjects (such as
identification of victims of mass disaster).
The near-perfect accuracy required for
some circumstances, such as criminal
prosecutions, is costly and timeconsuming. NIFS, in partnership with
Forensic Sciences South Australia and
the Flinders University, sought to develop
a process for closed set DNA profiling
which, by having a lesser, more
appropriate standard of accuracy, to be
quicker and more cost-effective.
